This night has been really horrible and it`not even midnight yet. People are setting off their stupid fireworks and it`s frightening my dogs. This whole year has been bad and difficult. My Mother has Parkinson`s disease and it is getting worse. She fell in the bathroom earlier this month and fractured her sternum. She spend a few days in the hospital in December due to a bad infection. This year has really sucked. I`m really praying that 2025 will be better.
